Deputy Chief of Staff, Eliud Owalo, revealed that President William Ruto and Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, are cracking down on government officials engaged in illegal private business dealings that cause project delays.

• Owalo stated that officials found involved in conflicts of interest will be dismissed and face legal action.
• The crackdown aims to prevent the stalling of government projects due to collusion between officials and contractors.
• The government plans to implement new strategies, including the digitization of government procurement (e-procurement), despite resistance from cartels.
